Some of the locomotive parts remain along the old railway track that connected the Charming Creek Coal Mine with the coast.
From 1929 until 1958 the coal from Charming Creek Mine was transported along a railway running down through the Ngakawau Gorge descending more than a hundred meters to the main railway along the coast of New Zealand's South Island. Some of the locomotive parts still remain along the old railway track. Von 1829 bis 1958 wurde die Kohle der Charming Creek-Mine auf einer eigens dafür gebauten Bahnlinie durch die Ngakawau-Schlucht hundert Höhenmeter tiefer zur Hauptlinie an der Küste der Südinsel Neuseelands gefahren. Noch heute zeugen Teile einer Lokomotive von der Eisenbahngeschichte dort.
